@Dr.B - can you comment on this really quickly? Have you successfully kept rope fish with LJs?

Ooh yeah good question @magpie I'm really fond of your ropes

 

[magpie]

Did you see the video of them eating fish out of my hand first try? They are awesome. I just worry they might get hurt with LJs...

What do you guys think as far as filtration goes? I'm thinking sump, never designed one before but seems easy enough.

 

[Dr.B]

I haven't kept ropes with larger sized lower jaws. I've kept them with up to 8" lower jaws. No matter how well fed I keep my lower jaws I don't trust their instinct to grab the much slimmer, worm-like, rope fish.

 

[Dr.B]

However I have contemplated creating an area of the tank (more towards the top and to one side) that would be a serviceable place ropes could stay and hide in the tank with larger lower jaws. But even then I'd be nervous they'd wonder out at night and be mistaken as food by my larger lower jaws.

yeah for a tank that size you definitely want to go sump. They're fairly easy to build and you can find a ton of help on this site and from The King of DIY on youtube.

I've emailed him 3 times with no answer.

Yeah that's the way it goes with toyin. just be patient. Send an email and wait a few days and he'll usually respond. But as mentioned by jaws, it's best not to contact him until you know exactly what you want and you are ready to order.
